CICS transaction response time

The response time for a transaction is the elapsed time for a transaction or conversation.

OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) uses CICS® Monitoring to determine transaction response time. The CONV=YES parameter in the CICS monitoring control table (MCT) determines whether records are written for each conversation. For conversational transactions, CICS Monitoring includes the terminal input wait time as part of the conversation’s elapsed time. If you do not want this time included, you can direct OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) to remove terminal input/output wait time from its elapsed time. See the CONVTIME operand on the Global Data Area parameter for more information.

In an MRO/ISC environment performing function shipping or distributed program link, each request handled by a mirror transaction may be treated as a separate transaction, depending on the request and, for MRO, the MROLRM SIT parameter setting.
